I have made two sets of Top & Bottom quilts from Climashield APEX, one a 5-oz, the other a 2.5-oz. Both work fine, but I have a couple of bothersome properties of them.
I don't like the way the top quilt's layers slide and feel like I'm getting bunched up with the inner layer of ripstop. I also don't like the "ballooning" of the quilts when I'm trying to pack them down.
I feel like "quilting" these quilts would resolve both of the issues but I don't want to detract too much from the effectiveness of the insulation. Does anyone have any experience with quilting climashield? I think I can minimize the loss by sticking with a large quilted pattern, like a 10-inch grid, or would it be better to do quilt-points (sewn x's) in a pattern across the quilt?
Thanks for any input.
